Hunan Restaurant

Chairman Mao's Red Braised Pork

Thick slabs of pork belly slow-braised until lacquered in soy, rice wine, and rock sugar — the definitive Hunan dish, and a litmus test for any kitchen claiming the cuisine

Steamed Fish Head with Chopped Chilies

Whole fish head blanketed in a vivid paste of fresh and fermented red chilies, steamed until the flesh pulls clean — spicy, funky, and unmistakably Hunan

Smoked Pork with Garlic Shoots

Thinly sliced cured smoked pork stir-fried with tender garlic shoots — smoky, savory, and a clean expression of Hunan's preserved-meat tradition

Dry-Fried Green Beans

Blistered beans tossed with minced pork, dried chili, and preserved vegetables — a textural counterpoint to the richer braised dishes
